      • /fm 1 specifies that it will process the Form and Manner violations. These are only available for some of the downloaders
    • /pause 1
      • /pause 1 will cause the EobrDownloader.exe to pause before closing so the output can be observed after running.

  • C:\Windows\RL5.ini Settings (optional):
    • [Directories]
      EobLogImportRoot=C:\ProgramData\RapidLog\Data (Tip: Match this to your Data= line)
    • Note: if this does not exist the downloads will go to \RapidLog\Data\EobLogImport\CompanyCode

  • Example BAT File for All Companies and Providers (prefered method):
    • “C:\Program Files (x86)\RapidLog\DownloadRunner.exe”
      “C:\Program Files (x86)\RapidLog\ForEachCompany.exe” RapidLog.exe [CompanyCode] -L RapidLogFormat
      “C:\Program Files (x86)\RapidLog\ForEachCompany.exe” RapidLog.exe [CompanyCode] -NewAudit HC -MI
